We LOVE being in Muir Woods. How about you? During the rainy winter season is when some of the most important restoration work is completed, and when the need for volunteers is greatest. Together, we will work to improve trails, care for natural landscapes, and improve habitat for the plants, birds, and other wildlife. The projects provide a wonderful opportunity for hands-on learning and many opportunities are family-friendly and open to volunteers of all ages.

Description
The MMWD volunteer program strives to connect people to nature and their water source by offering hands-on activities on the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed.
Volunteers are currently engaged in habitat restoration, trails maintenance, environmental education, biological monitoring and geographic information systems mapping.
Through their experiences volunteers gain skills, become stewards, contribute to the health and safety of the watershed and have fun while doing so.
MMWD manages 18,500 acres of land in the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed and 2,750 acres adjacent to the Nicasio and Soulajule reservoirs in west Marin. The Mt. Tamalpais Watershed has been identified by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a key component of a biosphere reserve, a designation given to biodiversity hot spots like the Amazon rainforest.
